Newport is home to many significant cultural meccas and buildings that hold tales of time and history and secrets of the city by sea. Jane Pickens maybe one of the most important. And we’re grateful to be apart of its whimsical and wild history. The last movie theater on island.

The building was built in 1834 as the Zion Episcopal church and later became St Joesph’s Catholic Church before turning a life performance venue where Charlie Chaplin style and live theater started to shift the building in to its arts era. First the Layette Theater graced Newportians with silent films starting in 1922.

Since then, 104 years this building has been a home for artist, musicians, thespians, mad actors, comedians, tributes, Dolly Partons, beg your pardons, John Prine, Olivia De Havilland and a bathroom sign that’s still upside down because Bill Murray said they should keep it that way.

If a theater is good enough for Wes Anderson to rent it to show his cast a film for inspiration, we’ll be damned if we can’t give you some while we’re within it. The theater was renamed Jane Pickens in 1976 and has been holding the name strong in honor of actress and Newport Socialite since.

This isn’t our first rodeo here either. When Kings Lens and Friends ended an era, theater owner Kathleen Staab (and our first gallery’s landlord!!!) and our friend Alex gave us the red carpet to celebrate our moving of milestones.

Now, with our new home and identity at House of Waves, we get to preserve the tradition of pushing the boundaries of how we can platform the artist around us. We are proud and grateful to host such an incredible film with our good friend and remind people the importance of film. Movies are where dreams, imagination and manifestations combine. Storytelling will always be alive while movies continue to hit the big screen.

Thank you for having us, your importance to this island is not undervalued. Long live cinema and theater.

Final Friday Presents: SITUATIONS 🥀

A special House of Waves film premiere at the historic Jane Pickens Theater Friday January 30th with support from

Situations is an incredible Indy film written and directed by our great friend and artist .

If you have been following along since the Kings Lens and Friends, you’ve most likely met Greg in a smokey corner enjoying the art of conversation. Greg is an incredible painter, photographer, actor and best of all, Friend. This film is a great example of how thoughtful Greg is with real human relationships and the beauty of emotions portrayed in to words.

The film is set three months after a painful breakup, a Los Angeles based photographer drifts through Silverlake’s creative chaos—dodging well-meaning friends, career pressures, and fleeting flings—until an unexpected connection forces him to confront what he truly wants from love, art, and himself.

We are honored to host a film premiere here in a town Greg has grown to love and feel roots build from the first art show he did with us in 2020. Situations has been featured worldwide in film festivals such as Downtown Festival (LA) IF Oldenburg(Germany) and now graces the big screen in little ole Rhody.

Doors open at 6PM, Film starts at 7PM.

Directly after the film we are bringing back Friends On The Coach with a quick Q+A with Director Greg Vrotsos, Host Patrick Murphy and 9 Central Film Festival founder Jack Galvin.

Tickets available at janepickens.com or our bio.
